Your regexp should work although it will actually also accept things
like 'root at xbknix.co.th'. Also, '@' is not special and doesn't need to
be escaped. I would use '^root@(.*\.)?bknix\.co\.th$'.

However, none of this explains your issue.

What is the reason why posts from root at web.bknix.co.th are held? Is it
'post by non-member to members only list' or some other reason? If some
other, what is the reason.

If it is non-member post, the address matched against
accept_these_nonmembers is one of two addresses. By default, it is the
address in the From: header, but if USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER is set to Yes in
mm_cfg.py, the address in the Sender: header is used if there is one.
